: Romans? Japanese?
Trow have Roman architecture and speak Latin; the Heron Guard's appearance is obviously derived from the Samurai (the armor, the swords, even the flags on their backs).

: "He doesn't like horses" is nothing but a
: not-so-clever excuse.
An excuse, sure. And if that were all it was, it wouldn't be clever. But it's more than that. It's not just "Alric doesn't like horses", it's "Alric is a reincarnation of Moagim, and four mythical horses are still dragging the pieces of his former body around the world. THAT's why he hates horses." And I find that a pretty clever excuse, especially since it gives rise to the whole dueling spirits cycle (Alric was Tireces, Moagim, Moagim Reborn, and Alric; Balor was Connacht and Balor and most likely the two other unnamed Heroes/Levellers).
